Police registered a case on Tuesday after a private school reported the sexual assault of a minor student within its premises here, officials said.

The school administration submitted a written complaint in the wake of reports on social media about the alleged sexual assault of a student at the school, they said.

“Police has taken cognisance upon a written information by the administrative authority of a particular school regarding the sexual assault on a minor student,” Srinagar Police said in a post on X.

Relevant sections of the Protection Of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO) Act were registered at the Kothibagh Police Station. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
